History

Xenex still bore the scars of the occupation of the Denteri decades before. The Xenexian people are divides into a number of clans. Like the Cardasians with Bajor the Dentari could no longer hold onto the world and withdrew.

E'kr'aa Spent most of her childhood with most of the cities on her homeworld being rebuilt after the Danteri occupation, her parents were both engineers and she grew up around machine parts and engineering texts. By her early teens she was correcting her parents work and designing more efficient fusion reactors. She seemed to have a knack for mathematics and a keen interest in technology sometimes staying up late just tinkering with things.

Her hair colour brought certain expectations in Xenexian society, at sixteen the marriage proposals started to flood in bit E'kr'aa was having none of it. Her parents were offered money and better standing within the clan but wouldn't budge caring more about their daughter than wealth or power. She didn't want to be another trophy wife for some far off clan leader.

As soon as she was old enough she joined Starfleet specialising in Engineering, she had always wanted to work on starships and the Xenexian defence fleet consisted of mostly small interceptors. She tried to fit in at the academy and seemed to get along with the Bajoran classmates due to certain cultural similarities. She graduated from the academy a year earlier than expected and got a posting on-board the USS. Phoenix, a certain Xenexian Captain seeing her potential. She quickly notoriety on-board for her engineering skills but also her sexual exploits though there was only really good natured teasing.

While on the Phoenix she took part in an ill fated away mission on a Cardasian Occupied world. The years following the Dominion war had left the Cardasians a fragmented people and a Gul turned warlord Named Datak had taken control of the planet. What was supposed to be an aid mission as part of a joint Federation/Cardasian post war clean up effort turned into a bloodbath and the Phoenix was destroyed.

Gul Datak was only supposed to patrol the area but had instead taken control of the planet. He set a trap for the Federation aid mission to get hold of starfleet weapons and possibly another ship for his small fleet.

She was the only survivor of the away mission and was held captive for three weeks. She was rescued when a joint Starfleet and Cardasian task force liberated the planet The experience left her a bit shaken and she refuses to talk about what happened to her. She was near death when she was rescued and it took her several months to recover.

She still keeps in touch with the survivors from the Phoenix though mourns the loss of her friends in engineering who stayed at their posts to give the rest of the crew time to evacuate. She feels a little bit of survivors guilt at having been the only survivor from the away mission.

Anything ElseLike most Xenexians Erica can consciously regulate her body temperature to some extent.

It's probably going to be long term. I don't want to have very much captain swapping as that can be quite bad for a ship's morale. Unless a captain gets promoted directly to admiral, the ship will keep the same captain.

Raziel's character can be put on a different ship later or adjusted to be a different role other then captain.

Physical DescriptionGender: FemaleAge: 29General Description: Zeynep is quite tall for a human woman. She has a deep dark tan that nicely matches her dark hair and eyes. She is quite curvaceous. Her muscle tone is soft enough to be classified as unpronounced, but she is deceptively strong.

Other InformationOrientation:StraightO/O:O/o'sGeneral Description of Personality: Zeynep is one in a long line of Starfleet officers. However, she lacks the seriousness and almost natural sense of duty some of her ancestors, both men and women, did have. She sees her life as one big adventure, with herself as the main heroine. Her loose and flirtatious nature got her in problems on more than one occasion, both at the academy and in her subsequent starfleet career. She has managed to stay clear of any formal scandal, which would have disrupted her career.

Skills (things that your character is particularly good at, not necessarily related to their job, but can be, should be tied into their history)Skill 1- She is a very good judge of character and is right more often than not with her first impressions of people.Skill 2- Astrometrics wizard: The one place where she has always felt at home in spite of her other misgivings about Starfleet is the Astrometrics lab.Skill 1- Flirtatious: She likes to flirt and seduce and is quite good at it, though she does not always have the wisdom to see the problems it might cause her professionally.

HistoryBoth of her parents were crewmembers on ships that were perpetually on deep space missions. She was born in her mother’s home town because her mom wanted to give birth there. Her parents thus got leave near the time of her birth, but left to their posting again within a couple of weeks of her being born. She and her brothers were literally raised in this life. They knew no other life, so Zeynep was already quite grown up before fully realizing that her upbringing was not the norm and that there might have been experiences she missed out on by being a space brat. Her two older brothers wade blitz careers, and her oldest brother, Volkan, was very close to his first command. This was due to his brilliant grades at the academy as well as the good family name and tradition of serving in Starfleet.

Although born in Instanbul, Zeynep spent most of her childhood on starships, until her parents deemed it time for her to enroll into the academy. At the time of her enrollement, Zeynep was perhaps too young to object, though the realities of her time there did give her some pause. She was a lackluster student, who was more interested in romantic escapades than getting good grades. However, she never allowed her academic undertakings to drop below a certain level and risk being kicked out of the academy. She further honed a life-long interest in stellar cartography by opting for that as her major. She was at her most happy at the academy whilst in the Astrometrics Lab. Beyond that, she did enjoy her time living on Earth, especially in California, learning about the experiences she missed out on as a child.

Unfortunately, her romantic behavior did not improve once she became a full-fledged member of the fleet, and she bounced around from ship to ship, always getting herself and sometimes numerous other crewmembers in trouble before (discretely) being relocated. Her reasons for getting into trouble were mostly her choice of partners, with her hooking up on several occasions with direct superiors and thus lending said relationships with an air of impropriety and abuse of power on the part of the superior officer. The worst experience in that regard was when she engaged in a relationship with an XO which led to him getting formally reviewed and reprimanded for his behavior.

Her favorite posting was on Starbase Tesla, where she made several friends and engaged in a genuine romance. Unfortunately, that posting was cut short when the station was decommissioned. Zeynep owes this next great opportunity on her new ship to both her older brother and her parents calling in favors on her behalf. Though her own experience and work in the field of Stellar Cartography has earned her a positive reputation as well, in spite of her more personal issues. The jury is still out on if this will sway her to better said behavior…Anything ElseNothing for now

And with that, the Endeavour is now full up on positions. You can still make characters for the ship, but no more command roles are available. We are now recruiting roles for the second ship, however, including First Officer, Chief Science Officer, Chief Engineer, and Chief Medical Officer.

Not that I'd ever make sexual inducements, but the crew is made up of 6 females, 1 male plus a walking radio shack store..... just sayin'

Damn, I didn't even notice that! And he's a bit shy now about intimate relations, so a predatory, aggressive female who likes what she sees and takes what she wants could easily take advantage of him...
